Lyrics:

I've had enough of being programmed

And told what I ought to do

Let's get one thing straight

I'll choose my fate

And it's got nothing to do with you

The years are flying by and it's time I got high

Took a sample of the good things in life

This is a chance

I'm gonna take

Gonna get out trouble and strife

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So what's wrong

You don't have to be old to be wise

No I don't care that the people stare

Accuse me of going mad

Just get a long hard look into the mirror

Then, tell me now who's been had

The way things are going I won't get to show 'em

Go single all the time's up to me

So it's off with the ties

No compromise

Wanna taste what it's like to be free

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So what's wrong

You don't have to be old to be wise

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So what's wrong

You don't have to be old to be wise

I'm gonna gather my things

Go through the door

Every night I'll live on my own

I'd like to be there

And I'm gonna be there

I got a will of my own

I go as I please

Fend for myself

Pull all the stops, rule the dice

Out on my own, gonna go it alone

When I need it

I'll ask for advice

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

(Fade out)
